During the Nigeria Electricity Supply Industry Week 2026 in Abuja, stakeholders in Nigeria's electricity sector have reiterated the necessity for coordinated reforms and a solid commitment to cleaner energy sources. This significant event aims to tackle persistent issues in the electricity supply industry by fostering ongoing cooperation between key players such as regulators, operators, policymakers, and investors. The conference hopes to create a platform that encourages innovation and accountability within the sector.

Obiorah Anthony, the CEO of NESI Platform Limited and Chairman of the NESI Week Steering Committee, emphasized that the launch of this initiative represents a pivotal moment in Nigeria’s drive towards an enhanced energy and sustainability ecosystem. As Nigeria grapples with challenges like unreliable power supply and high costs, stakeholders are advocating for a strategic shift that not only prioritizes cleaner energy technologies but also strengthens the regulatory framework to ensure accountability and effective service delivery.

In parallel to the conference's focus on energy, the National Sports Commission has expressed its support for the inaugural Nigeria Electricity Supply Industry Games, viewing it as a crucial opportunity to foster unity within the power sector and stimulate the sports economy. This multifaceted approach could potentially enhance stakeholder engagement in both energy and sports, leading to a more cohesive strategy that addresses economic and environmental concerns in the country.
